One thing about my worldbuilding that isn't really important, I just think it's cute: the Pokemon anime is a TV show within the main gameverse and it's meant to educate kids about certain Pokemon while telling it's own story that's very, very, verrry loosely based on Red's journey.

#saying bc castor caught a few episodes of it and hes a fan #i take a few things from it or at least inspirations from it but for the most part its its own thing #also i think red watches the show and really likes it. hes really flattered. blue thinks gary is funny as hell #the main thing i take is the implications behind meowth's character but he's not a legit example of a pokemon learning to talk #idk if that makes sense. also humans assume that each and every pokemon speak the same language #when... its not like they cannot communicate with each other. this is where aura and telepathy kind of come in #every pokemon is capable of some form of telepathy that varies among species #but untrained- they can talk with their own species and others within that family- like canine pokemon can talk to each other #but otherwise nope. they cant really talk with one another. at least not inherently #its something a pokemon can be trained to do like extend their telepathy so that feline and equine pokemon can hear them #and it takes a LOT to learn how to do that with a human #usually caught pokemon naturally learn to do this since theyre usually exposed to a ton of different pokemon #... mayyyybe theres a quality in pokeballs that helps with that? i dont know i havent figured that out yet #also its easier to learn how to hear other species talk than it is to actually speak it #so a lot of caught pokemon can understand what their trainer is saying and ofc can hear battle commands #but they wont be able to actually talk to them #in pmd however this is all completely out the window. all pokemon understand one another and they also understand humans #bc their auras evolved overtime so that telepathy with all pokemon is natural to them #idk why that is yet exactly... i have to iron that out but these are my ideas for now #maybe it was something the legendaries did... it could also just be a side effect of pokemon growing to have their own civilizations #it is VERY weird for castor when he enters bc he hadnt learned telepathy with every type yet but suddenly bam he knows everything #and its very surreal to him to suddenly have a steelix talking to him #echoed voice
